The Supersonic Workout

September 25, 2009

Time is a precious commodity, especially in this high tech, fast-paced world we live in today.

It seems no matter how much we try to budget our time, we never seem to have enough to do the things we need to do.

That’s especially true in the iron game.

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard from people who say they just don’t have enough time to fit in a results-producing workout into their daily schedules.

It can be tough, I know. No matter how dedicated you are the hustle and bustle of daily life can interfere with your lifting plans. When it does, you put it off more and more, until you just quit lifting at all.

If that situation describes you, I have some very good news.

The good news is there’s a workout that’s quick to do, gets results, and will have you out of the gym in under 30 minutes.

The routine is called the Supersonic Workout. It’s a fast and effective workout if you’re pressed for time.

Perform this routine three times a week and you’ll see results without spending hours in the gym. Give it a try and see for yourself.

The Supersonic Workout

Overhead Press 2 x 8-12
Chins 2 x Failure
Bent Over Rows 2 x 8-12
Curls 2 x 8-12
Squats 1 x 20 (breathing)

Notes: Workout three days per week. If that’s too much drop down to two days a week. As always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water. Train hard and heavy and you can’t go wrong.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.

Premium Membership Special Offer

September 16, 2009

As a way of saying thank you and to celebrate the third anniversary of this website, I’ve decided to announce a special offer on becoming a premium member of Workout Routines.

I also want to tell everyone about the exciting plans for this site throughout the rest of 2009 and int0 2010.

First, you can now get a premium membership for a super-low price of just $4.95 a month. For less than the price of cup of coffee and a scone you can get a wealth of muscle-building and health producing information at the click of a mouse.

There are over 400 articles, videos, and audio material posted on the Workout Routines site. The free stuff here is better than the crap being sold on the Internet right now. The premium content is even more killer.

Here’s just some of the current and future benefits available for Premium Members:

  • Access to the High Octane Fat Loss and Muscle Building System, sold for $47 on its own, as part of membership
  • Access to the soon-to-be released digital version of the Ultimate Workout Program
  • Audio, Old-School Workouts and Video sections of the site available to premium members only
  • Webinars, Teleseminars, and Podcasts will be added in the coming months for premium members
  • Email coaching from me, twice per month, for premium members
  • And special surprises I know you’ll love

Look, I won’t sugarcoat this. If you’re not willing to invest less than five measly bucks a month to improve your health, reach your bodybuilding or fitness goals, and improve your mental attitude, then nothing will work for you.

I’ve made the price low for three reasons:

  1. To celebrate the third anniversary of Workout Routines
  2. To make the price so low,  nobody could have any excuse not to join.
  3. To let everyone get real, common-sense advice without paying an arm and a leg to acquire it

In addition to a weekly podcast, webinars and teleseminars, even more great stuff is being created in the months ahead.

New sections are coming on nutrition, starting your own fitness business, and free software for premium members to have fun with.

It will be a smorgasbord of content for workout warriors like yourself.

Oh by the way, there isn’t any fake scarcity or any of that bullshit. This offer will be around until the end of the year.

This is truly the only place you need to come for real, practical, truthful training and nutrition advice that gets results. Don’t believe me? Just check out some of the free routines and see for yourself. Nothing happens unless you implement what you learn.

If you want to become a premium  member, go to the sign-up page here, or click the button below. It’s only $4.95 a month. What have you got to lose to try it out? if you don’t like it, cancel immediately and never be billed again.

Good luck with all your training efforts and thanks for reading.

Old-School Power Program

September 8, 2009

The old-school lifters loved the power lifts and used to incorporate them into a variety of workout programs.

That was then, this is now.

Go to a gym today and you”ll be lucky to see one person out of 20 performing any of these lifts – which are the squat, deadlift, and bench press.

Maybe if you’re lucky, they’ll do the bench. Squats and deadlifts – never.

The reason, those exercises are f…ing hard!

And most people will do anything to avoid hard work. Thank heaven you’re not one of those. You can’t be because you’re reading this article and people who come to this site are not lazy. They’re real, honest-to-goodness lifters.

Congrats to you. You deserve it.

Since you are different from all the bunny lifters out there, here’s a nice powerlifting program even the old-timers would love.

Old-School Power Program

Monday & Thursday
Bench Press 2 x 8, 2 x 6, 2 x 4, 2 x 2
Incline Press 4 x 6
Overhead Press 4 x 6

Tuesday & Friday
Squats 2 x 8, 2 x 6, 2 x 4, 2 x 2
Leg Press 4 x 6
Deadlifts 2 x 8, 2 x 6, 2 x 4, 2 x 2

Notes: Make sure to lift only those four days. Don’t add on. If four days is two much, drop a day and alternate workouts. As always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water. Train hard and heavy and you can’t go wrong.

Bulk Me Up Routine

September 2, 2009

It seems that one problem, or question, is uppermost in the minds of many young trainees. The question is, “How can I gain weight or bulk?”

Actually, the answer is not very hard. It’s just ignored because it involves the use of heavy weights and lots of hard work.

The key exercise in the bulking routine is, of course, the squat.

The squat, along with power exercises like the deadlift and bench press must be part of any bulking program.

Along with the proper program, the other important element is food.

To gain bulk, eat lots (unless you’re overweight to begin with) of meats, eggs, fish, poultry, peanut butter, whole wheat grains, and fruits and vegetables. If you can handle it, add milk to your diet as well. Milk was a staple of the old-timers’ bulking plans.

Follow both parts of the formula and you’ll see the results of your bulking efforts in no time at all.

Remember: You must constantly strive to lift the max poundage you’re capable of, without cheating. Progressive resistance is the name of the game in weight training.

Bulk Me Up Routine

Breathing Squats 1 x 20
Deadlift 2 x 10-15
Bent Over Row 3 x 10
Bench Press 3 x 10
Overhead Press 3 x 10
Curls 2 x 10

Notes: Workout three days per week and as always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water. Train hard and heavy and you can’t go wrong.
